Blended Whiskey Miniature Appraisal

Calvert Extra Blended Whiskey Miniature Bottle (50ml)

This is a vintage miniature glass bottle of Calvert Extra Blended Whiskey, commonly referred to as a 'nip' or 50ml size. The bottle is constructed from clear glass with a rounded shoulder and a long, tapered neck. It features its original metallic gold-colored screw-cap, which remains sealed with a pinkish-red paper tax stamp or security seal across the top, indicating it has never been opened. The amber-colored liquid inside appears to have a slight 'ullage' or evaporation gap, which is common for aged miniatures. The front label is primarily a deep maroon or burgundy color with 'CALVERT EXTRA' printed in bold gold lettering. Below the brand name, the label depicts two glasses—a highball and a rocks glass—suggesting serving methods. The bottle appears to be from the mid-to-late 20th century, likely the 1970s or 1980s. The condition of the label is generally good with some light scuffing and minor edge wear consistent with age and storage. The glass itself is free of visible cracks or chips, and the tax stamp shows some minor fraying but remains largely intact. This item represents a standard piece of liquor memorabilia and advertising history from the Calvert Distilling Co.
